In the book, "Performance Tunig the Sunbeam Tiger", page 55 has the following 
causes of poor gas mileage:

1.    main gas jets too large  

2.    too high fuel pump pressure

3.    high float levels

4.    idle mixture adjustment too rich

5.    engine running too cold (use higher thermostat)

6.    accelerator pump setting incorrect

7.    clogged air cleaner
